2022/23 NBA REGULAR SEASON THREAD "TANKING FOR WEMBANYAMA"

pretty much any moves available to them at this point arent getting them to a top 6 seed

sad

yeah, he's a high end version of the random offensive guard they've been trying to find for a couple years

im sure gordon would be a part of any hornets deal too

he used to be a good midrange guy

6 years ago today, Untamed Russell Westbrook torched 76ers on opening night with 32 PTS, 12 REBS x 9 ASTS. Showcasing a smooth midrange jumper 😭 pic.twitter.com/0D1IACQO7V

according to bkref he's shooting 50% from 16-23ft, he's hovered in the high 30s basically his whole career

lol damn thought it was better than that! had to check myself thinking maybe it was like that 10 foot elbow shot he was good at... but 39% from 10-16 lol

Is that a shop?!

truly a mickey mouse franchise

Bucks actually having a nice 2nd half

this game was close at one point and the bucks just choked the life out of brooklyn

Nets were up 12 at half

well jamal murray just put lebron on a poster

this is bullshit; i tuned in to watch russ suck

its always something with this fuckin guy

Giannis Antetokounmpo becomes the 1st player to average 13+ REB & 36+ Points in the 1st 3 games of a season since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1972-73!

Giannis is the only one in NBA History to do both those and have a .670+ FG% in that opening span as well ‼️ pic.twitter.com/i1Z58QrYRp

god Darvin Ham is such a LPC name

Uh, 'record-setting' stats that span not just a three game period, but a very specific three games, don't seem all that significant to me. Greg Harvey is just poking around for something to tweet about. It reminds me of Congress writing a tax break that includes five very specific qualifiers that in real life (lo and behold!) apply to exactly one corporation residing in the district of a powerful congressional rep.

bruce brown is having himself a game

you love to see it

just checked the nets box score, 4 points and 4 fouls for simmons. incredible subplot

he got some assists though

still kinda like a Tim Tebow situation brewing here. he gives you lots of physical talent and the opportunity do to some cool things but his weakness is so glaring you can't scheme for it. difference is Simmons was actually decent once

jamal looks so bad

every single time I look up at the TV Denver has a fast break

every time I post about it too

When’s the lakers first win?

95% of the tickets were on the under for Ben Simmons points (8.5) tonight

He finished with 4 pts ✅

lmao very audible "SHOOT IT, BEN!" (though I think it's KD not Kyrie?)

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/yeg8hk/highlight_kyrie_yells_at_ben_to_shoot_the_ball_in/

i saw that… tbh kicking it out to a wide open KD is a fine play

superteams being 2-11 so far is fun

well the bucks are 3-0

their best acquired players are jrue holiday and brook lopez. not a superteam

yeah, agreed on that. the players on those teams chose the spotlight, deserve all the scorn they're getting (for non-basketball reasons as well...), and we're blessed to be able to witness it

jamal looks so bad

I only watched the first half!

Rust is real

Gotta keep those neural pathways constantly reinforced to maintain them at maximum strength. When they decline it takes a while to get them back to their max.

i think he's moving pretty well but its all about how he looks come Feb/Mar really. jokic said it right, he's gonna look like ass for the first ~20 games

He’s always been a really improvisational player and lots of the stuff he’s trying just is off in timing and ends in turnovers. But you saw in the second half how good it works when it clicks.

it feels like there’s a confidence thing there w him too. the amount of time it took him to get back, the fact that he skipped the game in golden state etc

timing has been the biggest thing I've noticed too -- just totally out of rhythmn

im sure it felt good to jam ~on lebron tho

lolbron

we might get a legendary return of messy bron

he brought russ so last year was on him but that he's still on the roster this season is on the organization

we might get a legendary return of messy bron

no jordan, he's already told us "that's not who [he is]"

quality nbatv doubleader tonight: battle of the iso gods nets vs mavs and our 2023 nba finalists dubs v heat

get your votes in
flash poll – when will the lakers get their first win?

I’m really excited about mavs-nets, lots of narratives and revenge and drama and whatnot

The Denver Nuggets should trade for LeBron James today.
